Decade-old allegations against WA mining entrepreneur Peter Bartlett over a $50 million tax evasion case have resurfaced in the trial of five people accused of stealing gold-bearing ore from his company.
The court heard that Mr Bartlett was charged in 2011 and faced trial in 2013 and 2014 for tax evasion alongside his late business partner Ron Sayers, but was not convicted, although the pair paid back $40 million to the Australian Taxation Office.
